As a few of you know, a long time back, we bought a beautiful yellow bull from Jason Nelson. Jason, being the great guy that he is, took care of her for us until the weather was warm enough for shipping. If you are reading this Jason, thank you for being so patient. Right after we bough her, we got hit with weeks of sub-zero weather, then weeks of near zero weather. We have more sub-zero weather coming in. We were going nuts. Jason sent us more pictures of her while we were waiting.
It took over a month for us to have a safe window for shipping. But she's HOME!!! She looked so beautiful in the pictures Jason sent us. But they were nothing compared to how great she looks in person.
She was surprisingly peaceful during the unboxing, alert, active, curious, but didn't seem nervous at all. Didn't want to bother her with the camera, so we snapped one quick pic on the way to her enclosure.
She looks like she's trying to hide in this pic, but it was taken while she was "crawling under herself" lol

We don't see her very much anymore, she's settling in, I'm giving her a week to adjust before I start working with her, but she's already living up to the bull snake reputation. The few times we have seen her, we see this

I'm looking forward to working with her and seeing how she turns out.
I only wish my camera could take a better picture that really showed how beautiful she is.
Thanks again Jason, I can't tell you enough how much we appreciate it.

Very nice Poomwah. My new bull snake was a bit hissy too when I first got her about a month ago. She's calmed down a lot since then. I'm pretty sure with some gentle, consistent handling Norma Jean will chill out. She's a gorgeous snake btw.

Thanks Zig, we think she's gorgeous too. I'm really looking forward to working with her after she's had more time to settle in

Beautiful. She looks like some of the Great Basins I see in Kern Co. Please post follow up pics as she gets older and colors up.

instead of when she colors up, how about one that shows what she REALLY looks like :]
The other pics didnt capture her color accurately.
This is what she really looks like
